About Me:: I taught 3rd, 5th, and 6th - 8th language arts at St. Matthew School prior to getting my library media certificate through UW. I have been the teacher-librarian for St. Matthew School for 3 years. I truly enjoy teaching and sharing great books with all the children of the school. (St. Matthew is a K-8 parochial school in Seattle.)

I am excited about a trip to Italy (Rome, Cortona, Vernazza, and a small town away from the tourist spots called Tufara).

I'm so glad you'll thinking and sharing with us!

I hope you had a great trip to Italy. It's been years since I was there. It's one of my long time goals to return someday!

It's funny you should mention school libraries in Italy. I was thinking today that while I'm in Cortona (7 days) I would try to visit a school and see what kind of library they have. I also wonder if the kids are as into Harry Potter and Cornelia Funke books as my kids are? I sure will be taking pics and you have planted a seed ... I'll try to find libraries as I travel and create a library -focused / literature something.
Thanks for your interest.

It's great to have your voice in the BCC group. I appreciate your desire to explore ideas related to collaboration. I hope this will be a great use of your summer.

And when is your trip to Italy? Have you thought about photos/experiences you can bring back to your school? Do schools in Italy have school libraries? (I guess I've never thought about that!) What do you know about Italian children's literature? (I love children's lit too - and I know nothing about Italian books!)

Best,
Judi
